Having a mind that is totally concentrated helps us to achieve our goals that more easily.
Man having become discouraged with all the physical, emotional, materialistic phases of life has now begun to search for the true meaning of life.
The time has come for him to look inside his deeper self to know who he really is.
Man is slowly learning how to master himself.
To master himself, man has discovered a wonderful tool and that tool is concentration.
This final step which teaches him to master his mind is meditation.
It is through the process of Yoga that a person learns how to meditate.
Through meditation one learns how to become self conscious.
He learns that he is indeed not what he really thinks he is in the personal individualistic term that is personified by the Western School of thought.
Mediation helps him to unwind and become detached from the egocentric person that he truly is.
He learns to slowly shed his ego and begin to view the world in a much larger sense.
Through meditation his consciousness begins to expand.
We all live in a world we are always under tremendous stress due to pressures from society and family, fearful and full of insecurity, always anxious and ready to press the panic button in case of any crisis.
We fail to realize that we live in a world where we are actually living a life which is being lived to only please others.
It is only a few who have realized that the lives they are leading are full of pretensions who have managed to tear away from it.
These people have learnt to differentiate between what is good for them and what is not.
They have woken up to the fact that they are now not willing to let others take decisions for them and they should live life on their very own terms.
One of the most difficult things for any person to do is to make a self appraisal of themselves.
The whole process of finding out that we are really not the person who we think we really are is as extremely painful and difficult one.
For this we need to dig deep into our consciousness to look for all those painful memories and hurt which we have managed to conceal deep inside our sub conscious mind.
Doing meditation helps us to really dig deep inside our otherwise unknown self so that all those feeling and emotions that were suppressed would slowly emerge.
Most people who begin to self examine themselves usually give it up midway unable to cope with all that they come face to face with.
But for those who want to set right all their negative emotions and feelings the best thing would be to accept those feelings and emotions and try to set it right with positive thoughts.
Once we have acknowledged ourselves then changing our thought pattern to one that is more constructive to our betterment would be the most ideal solution.
Negative feelings and suppressed resentments only make us experience headaches and bring about illness in our body.
It is through meditation that we can learn how to bring about a change in our thought process.
